    Advice on towable log splitter

    This is not really urgent as I have over 30 cub m of dry firewood sitting in various sheds but I've decided to buy a decent log splitter. I have had access in the past to two reasonable splitters but both options are now gone My hunting mate recently gave me a decent size gum on his old family farm that needs cutting up after being blown down. My older son's new house is getting close to ready and it'll have two fires so I don't want to turn down such good firewood, although I do have heaps of over-mature macro trees on our life sentence block.

    Anyway, I've decided I need (?want) the following features:
    - public road towability
    - at least a 10hp motor
    - at least 15 ton of ram power
    - a pump of at least 15 gals/min capacity
    - a cycle time of less than 10secs, pref less
    - a vertical format or possibly both vert/horiz

    I can't be bothered thinking about having one constructed so it comes down to available commercial models.
    What are people's experiences here?
